>>55887119He's won more tournaments than anyone else, and has won them across five different generations with different mechanics and different rulesets. He is, overall, the best player.
>Ray Rizzo won worlds moreRay Rizzo hasn't done jack shit since early 6th gen. Min/maxing one gen is talented, yes, but to be consistently good across multiple gens is an order of magnitude more.
>Regionals/Nationals/Internationals aren't as important as Worlds winsAll tournaments are hard. No one is going into a tournament saying "I'm going to sandbag and not give it my all." If you're playing someone, whether it's in day one at a Regionals or top cut in Worlds, they're trying their best to win. If you win over them, you were the better player (outside of extreme luck factors that are usually smoothed out by bo3 anyways).
